Last Listing description (November 2023)

Elegant, romantic and historic, the perfect character-style home located at 11 Waterloo Crescent. Located in the ever popular and tightly held locality of Battery Point.

Circa 1834, Barley Mow was built as a four-room workman's cottage, then later extended to mimic conjoined cottages. In the mid-nineteenth century, the property became one of the 28 licensed taverns serving the needs of the local wharfies and whalers. Side windows on the domed attics gave warning of intending marauders, who like the thirsty clientele, abounded before respectability came to Battery Point in the later Victorian era. This is no ordinary home; it is a piece of Historic Hobart awaiting new ownership.

Be instantly impressed by the grand historical elegance, exuding enchantment the moment you enter the property. The wide welcoming hallway showcases Victorian features at their finest and seamlessly adjoins all the rooms together. Featuring a statement archway, ornate and intricate cornicing, classic timber picture rails and ceiling roses.

Retaining its grandeur this breathtaking estate is a landmark property of unrivalled quality. Showcasing a first-class floor plan of the era that includes a selection of prestige formal lounge and dining room featuring multiple decorative fireplaces, and an original kitchen that provides direct access to the rear yard. A formal study enriched with characteristics traditional of the era. The picture rails and timber architraves and the high-light floor to ceiling shelving are perfect as a personal library.

A snug living room east facing on the lower-level features stunning French doors opening up to a lovely decking with easy access to the beautiful grounds at the rear. The main bathroom on the lower-level services all bedrooms and compliments the age with bathtub over shower, toilet and vanity.

The double winged timber staircase leads to the remaining accommodation, The master bedroom to the right and left the other original bedrooms all featuring historical domed attic windows with mountain views. Plenty of storage can be found, with double built-in robes, as well as direct access to the roof space. A sunroom is also located at the very top of the stairs which bathes in sunlight and overlooks the magnificent gardens.

A rarity for Battery Point, parking is available via wrought iron gates to a sandstone paving pathway opening up an unexpectedly large garden at the rear of the property, well-maintained with mature plantings and an ancient walnut tree. An archway leads into a secret knot garden with brick pathways winding around garden beds of flowers, flanked by nut and fruit trees and a high convict brick National Trust wall topped by broken glass bottles - built to prevent access to the adjoining property. The garden was featured on ABC Gardening Australia by the redoubtable late Peter Cundall.

During the 20th century the house underwent numerous changes including accommodating two families of 12 persons and a then a children's home before falling into disrepair and narrowly avoiding demolition before being sympathetically restored to its former glory in the mid 1980's.

From this prestigious position you can listen to the soothing bells from St. George's Church, walk to the local cafes and shops of Battery Point or take a short stroll to Salamanca Place renowned for its popular restaurants, bars and the weekly Salamanca Market. Soak up the village vibe of this friendly community hub. Properties significant as these are not often bought to market so now is the perfect time to grasp this opportunity of pure history.

Barley Mow now awaits new custodians to carry it into the 21st century and maintain its rightful place as a special piece of Hobart history.
